The night passed uneventfully…
Early the next morning, Lin Yongming woke up. Sensing that the Blue Silver Empress and Xiao Rou were still asleep, he sat down to meditate.
The Purple Lightning Thunder Eagle's spirit ring, with its 3,300-year cultivation, along with the external spirit bone, had directly propelled Lin Yongming to the 33rd level of Spirit Elder.
The third spirit ring had enhanced all of Lin Yongming's attributes by about three times, and the external spirit bone had further increased them by another fold.
Most importantly, the external spirit bone could grow alongside Lin Yongming's strength, ensuring that its enhancements would continue to improve steadily.
If Lin Yongming were to face the scarred man, a Spirit Ancestor he had encountered a year ago, he was confident he could defeat him in just a few moves with his current strength.
This was his newfound confidence.
As Lin Yongming meditated, he began to resonate with the surrounding spirit energy.
Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his chest. The spirit energy within his body, as well as the energy around him, became chaotic and restless.
"Not good! The fusion with the Purple Lightning Thunder Wings isn't complete yet. I've lost control!"
Lin Yongming clutched his chest with one hand while using the other to support himself on the ground.
The Purple Lightning Thunder Wings emerged from his back uncontrollably, flapping on their own and creating a strong gust of wind in the room.
"What's going on? Why is the spirit energy so turbulent?"
In the bedroom, the Blue Silver Empress and Xiao Rou were instantly awakened.
"It's Xiao Ming! Something's wrong with him."
The two women rushed out of the room and saw Lin Yongming in pain, with the Purple Lightning Thunder Wings fully extended.
"Ah Yin, quick, use your second spirit skill!" Xiao Rou immediately instructed.
"Second Spirit Skill: Blue Silver's Protection!" The Blue Silver Empress nodded and instantly cast her support skill to help Lin Yongming regain control of the wings.
"Xiao Ming, use your spiritual power to control the Purple Lightning Thunder Wings. Treat the external spirit bone as if it's a part of your own body. Don't try to force it or resist it." Xiao Rou, being more experienced, remained calm and composed. She approached Lin Yongming and offered guidance to stabilize the situation.
Lin Yongming nodded slightly. With the Blue Silver Empress's support skill, he adjusted his posture and began to slowly guide the wings back into his body.
It took nearly an hour for Lin Yongming to fully regain control and stabilize the restless spirit energy.
"Xiao Ming! How are you feeling? Are you still in pain?" The Blue Silver Empress stepped forward to check on him.
"I'm fine now. Thank you, Sister Ah Yin!" Lin Yongming wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
"Relax. This is a common experience for those who possess external spirit bones. Yesterday, when I saw you using the Purple Lightning Thunder Wings so effortlessly, I thought you were fine. That's why I didn't mention this possibility earlier," Xiao Rou explained gracefully as she walked over.
"Oh? Sister Xiao Rou, what exactly happened?" Lin Yongming asked, puzzled.
"External spirit bones are powerful, but they're not easy to control. If the fusion with your body isn't complete, you'll experience backlash like this."
"So, from now on, you'll need to nourish the external spirit bone with your own spirit energy, allowing the Purple Lightning Thunder Wings to truly become a part of your body."
"Of course, you could also ask a Title Douluo to use their power to forcibly integrate the external spirit bone into your body," Xiao Rou explained in detail.
"A Title Douluo? No, I'll just take my time and fuse with it slowly," Lin Yongming shook his head.
Not only did he not know any Title Douluo, but even if he sought help from the Spirit Hall, he wouldn't feel safe. After all, greed was a universal trait, and he wasn't familiar with the higher-ups in the Spirit Hall.
"Oh? Aren't you a member of the Spirit Hall? With your talent, they should be willing to help you, right?" Xiao Rou asked with a faint, probing smile.
"Although I've joined the Spirit Hall, I'm more worried that they might try to take my Purple Lightning Thunder Wings for themselves or give them to someone else," Lin Yongming replied with a wry smile.
"If you don't trust the Spirit Hall, why did you join in the first place?" Xiao Rou asked, confused.
"I trust the Spirit Hall as an organization, but not necessarily its leaders. When the Spirit Hall's Holy Maiden invited me to join, I felt I had no choice. If I had refused, I'm not sure what might have happened. I only have one life, and my parents are still alive. I couldn't take that risk," Lin Yongming explained with a bitter smile.
"It seems you have quite a few reservations about the Spirit Hall. Isn't the Spirit Hall supposed to be a good organization?" Xiao Rou continued to probe.
"The Spirit Hall is indeed good, but any organization that has existed for a long time is bound to have leaders with personal ambitions. That's why I didn't go to Spirit City back then. If I had, would I have been able to reach the level of Spirit Elder so quickly?"
"I'm not sure," Lin Yongming admitted.
If he had gone to Spirit City, would he have been able to cultivate in peace? Human nature was complex, and the disciples of those high-ranking officials might have grown jealous and caused trouble for him.
After all, why should a blind boy have innate full spirit power? Why should he progress so quickly? Wouldn't the descendants of those high-ranking officials feel inferior to a blind boy? Such thoughts could easily breed jealousy.
"Your mindset is quite mature. It's rare to see someone so grounded these days. I've met many young talents from prominent families who consider themselves geniuses, but few of them reach the level of Great Spirit Master in elementary academy. Many talented youths lose themselves in the praise of others," Xiao Rou said, looking at Lin Yongming with appreciation and nodding in satisfaction.
"Well, my family has nothing to offer except for cultivation. Besides, cultivation starts with cultivating oneself," Lin Yongming replied, feeling a bit embarrassed by Xiao Rou's praise.
"Alright, I'll go make breakfast. You rest for now. Ah Yin, you stay here and take care of him," Xiao Rou said, giving the Blue Silver Empress a meaningful look before leaving.
"Thank you, Sister Xiao Rou," the Blue Silver Empress said immediately.
"Xiao Ming, are you feeling better now? Sit down for a while."
"Alright," Lin Yongming replied, unable to refuse her kindness.
Sitting on a chair, Lin Yongming quietly regulated his breathing.
Over an hour later, Xiao Rou finished preparing breakfast.
When she asked Lin Yongming about his plans, he shared his intentions.
"Gaining combat experience? That's a good training plan. I think, with your current strength as a Spirit Elder, you should head to the Great Spirit Arena in Suotuo City. Their sparring arena is designed for practice and rarely results in life-threatening situations. It's perfect for a young spirit master like you who's just starting to explore the world."
"However, there's no need to rush. You can stay here for a few more days to properly adjust to your external spirit bone. Otherwise, if you overuse your spirit power, you risk exposing the external spirit bone," Xiao Rou advised seriously.
"Thank you for your guidance, Sister Xiao Rou," Lin Yongming said sincerely.
"You've been calling me 'Sister,' so there's no need to be so formal. Now, have some porridge."
Lin Yongming nodded and didn't say anything more.
